Networking​

Tailscale integration [-beta.3]​

Unraid OS supports Tailscale through the use of a plugin created by Community Developer EDACerton. When this plugin is installed, Tailscale certificates are supported for https webGUI access, and the Tailnet URLs will be displayed on the Management Access page.

Refer to this document for an introduction to using Tailscale with Unraid.

Support iframing the webGUI [-beta.3]​

Added "Content-Security-Policy frame-ancestors" support to allow the webGUI to be iframed by domains it has certificates for. It isn't exactly supported, but additional customization is possible by using a script to modify NGINX_CUSTOMFA in /etc/defaults/nginx

Other changes [-beta.3]​

• Routing Table: show routes from all routing tables, not just default. 

WebGUI
